    So if there was a similar international summit in Israel, he should go rather than refuse based on his personal ethics due to their ethnic cleansing of Gaza, correct?

      If we want to uphold the principle of international diplomacy and the summit represents a huge bloc of the world’s population then yes he really should. If Israel is hosting an event for dozens of countries he should. He’s not just visiting his buddy Putin or Netenyahu. He’s the main diplomat of the UN.
